I wrote this song as a tribute to our troops that will be deployed for Christmas so we can be free.
Lyrics:
Deployed Again for Christmas
Dear Mom I hope this letter finds you well. And yes I know it’s been a long long time. I was hoping I would make it home by Christmas It looks like it won’t be ‘till summertime. At this time of year we long for family But sometimes it’s just not meant to be Mamma don’t you worry I’ll be home again soon Just you wait and see.
(Chorus)
I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas Trying hard to be all I can be. I’m proud to be fighting for my Country But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.
Dad do you remember that old train set? The one we used to have when I was young. The echoes of the whistle and the engine Drowning out the the Christmas Songs we sung. The blue lights on the tree would mix and mingle With the candles in the windows shining bright And you would read the story of the Birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Night.

(Chorus)
I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas Trying hard to be all I can be. I’m proud to be fighting for my Country But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.
I lace my boots up early Christmas morning My misty eyes make it hard to see I know back home you will soon be waking To presents all around the Christmas Tree. Sometimes I wonder why we’re fighting, Then I see a child and it all becomes so clear The things we take for granted are the treasures that they Long for over here.
(Chorus) I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas Trying hard to be all I can be. I’m proud to be fighting for my Country But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.
